Event Description

For whom: All interested stakeholders. The conference is designed in particular for companies and experts interested in new technologies, supply chain, logistics, transport best practices, evaluation and management process.

Background: Transport is responsible for over 30% of final energy consumption. Reduction of energy consumption and management of energy in transport are key societal challenges in relation to climate change and security of supply. Standardization provides tools to support the various stakeholders in managing those challenges.

The aim of the conference is to present some of the activities already carried out and to create an exchange of views with stakeholders (industry, European Commission, environmental NGOs) in order to identify possible needs for further standardization.

The conference will give an insightinto two standards recently published:

Energy Meters;

and Methodology for Calculation of Energy Consumption.

Other draft standards under progress will also be presented.

In the afternoon, we will hold two optional parallel sessions in order to:

gather feedback from interested parties on the draft European Standard on energy audits in transport being developed by CEN/CLC JWG 1 “Energy audits”;

learn about the challenge of putting standards into practice in the area of intermodal transport.

On behalf of MEP Boguslaw Sonik, the rapporteur on "Environmental impacts of shale gas extraction" we have the pleasure to invite you to a presentation by The International Energy Agency of the report on the "Golden Rules for a Golden Age of Gas".

Learn more about the role of polyurethane insulation in reducing the energy consump­tion of houses by 85% and how the passive house movement fits into the ongoing policy initiatives to create a more sustainable Europe.

he event is meant to raise awareness on the need to upscale the energy retrofitting of the existing Social Housing stock and the need for a policy framework to boost and facilitate changes at Member States level.

The debate around shale gas development in Europe remains in its infancy, however it is seen by many as a “game-changer” in terms of energy security, tackling climate change and in facilitating the development of renewables (as a best placed partner).

Renovating the existing EU building stock is a real economic opportunity for Europe. It is a revenue-generatingactivity which contributes to urban renewal, strengthens social cohesion, boosts economic growth by creating
